CWLONGSHOT Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Your speedo cable needs lube. Its a pain in the arse to do. Try removing the gages and spraying in some dry lude. Trouble is you never know where the dry/unlubbed spot is. It could be at the bottom...... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 also make sure that you don't have any sharp kinks in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzprism Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 i just did a guage swap, how do get my speedo to read out a constant speed instead of bouncing New here and just getting the lay of the land with all the topics and forum at this site.. I recently pulled my Comanche apart (( I mean "'apart"" )) and working the dash and instrumentation (( because it was evident the previous owner had ""modified it"" )) I discoverd a kind to the speedometer cable just behind the speedometer head connection.. I gingerly reworked the kink as straight as I could make it and the flutter to the speedometer needle I had seen when I drove the Jeep home the first day I bought it, smoothed out..! I like the easy ones. Not saying there may be need for some lubrication, but for all the work I have done on vehicles, I have not often seen that be the case. then,, I've not been much around jeeps until now.. Best I can, Thomas ....there are old off-roaders and bold off-roaders, but no old-bold-off-roaders... keep it together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 i think there is more to it than lube cause my bro bought a whole new cable pre-lubed and put even more on it and it still bounces... idk mine does it but its not bad enough to bother me. -nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
